Γειά σας! Είμαι ο Μικές από την Ελλάδα και διαγνώστηκα με διαβήτη πριν τρεις μήνες. Κάνω kaninsulin με μέτρια αποτελέσματα. Είμαι 4 κιλά και είμαι 7 ετών. Η μαμά μου σκέφτεται μήπως είναι καλύτερα να κάνουμε lantus. Σας ευχαριστώ για την αποδοχή και την στήριξη! Τα φιλιά μου από Ελλάδα!

Greek to English translation:

“Hello! I am Mikes from Greece and I was diagnosed with diabetes three months ago. I am using Caninsulin with moderate results. I weigh 4 kg and I am 7 years old. My mom is thinking that maybe it would be better for us to switch to Lantus. Thank you for the acceptance and support! Kisses from Greece!”

Welcome to FDMB
Beautiful Mikes, actually Canninsulin is a dog insulin, it hits hard and fast in a cat, the best insulins for a cat are Lantus or ProZinc they are a 12 hour insulin and easier on the cat. Kisses for USA!

This is exactly the reason why I am here with you. I 'm a quick learner. I would love to use lantus.

Spacesopa started with Caninsulin and switched to Lantus. You can read their post here: Newly Diagnosed Kitty - Seeking Early Advice

Hello and welcome. Another Greek member @Anna1 who is on Lantus.

My cat was started on Caninsulin too. Both she and I were much happier with the switch to Lantus. I think it's a good idea to switch if your vet is OK with that.

One other thing, the Royal Canin dry food is not a good option for diabetic cats. Ideally you be feeding him low carb wet or raw food. This food list for the UK lists some options also available in Europe: UK Cat Food List. Make sure you are regularly home testing his blood sugars and transition food slowly to low carb, as that can make a big difference in the amount of insulin he needs.
